I found very little to be bothered by in the lastest and final chapter in the Batman franchise. Christopher Nolan’s, “The Dark Knight Rises” delivers everything audiences could ask for and then some.
The movie starts us eight years after the end of “The Dark Knight”. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has become a recluse, seemingly still recovering from injuries sustained as Batman. His butler/confidante, Alfred (Michael Caine) informs him that Wayne Enterprises is in major financial trouble, mostly from a clean-energy research project which Wayne built then closeted away. The bad guy is a masked terrorist named Bane (Tom Hardy) who is easily bankrupts the Wayne and launches a populist uprising against the rich. Batman has to come out of retirement and fight Bane and escape from the police who are still convinced that Batman was responsible for the death of late district attorney, Harvey Dent.
Christopher Nolan’s vision and usage of Catwoman is the best so far, showing off Anne Hathaways' sex appeal, humor and scarcastic wit in equally.
Many events turn and twist between these three main characters and an assortment of others including a hot shot policeman (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman.
You will either like this movie or not. I do not see a middle space for it. It does get long winded a couple of times and there are some muddled areas. I liked it found the twist refreshing, and look forward to the directors commentary on the DVD.
Profanity is minimal, sex is implied. Lots of deaths and fighting but not bloody or gory.
